FIRE-PROOF PORTABLE CORRUGATED-IRON WAREHOUSE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 346,071, dated July 20,1886.

Application filed March 1, 1886. Serial No. 193,687. (N 0 model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, AUGUST W. SOI-IULEN- BURG, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented anew and useful Improved Fire-Proof Portable Corrugated Iron Warehouse,of which the following is a specification.

The chief object of my invention is the e011- struction of a portablefire-proof iron warehouse, which may be of any dimensions, for thestorage of all kinds of goods, in which the main constructional partsare gas-pipe and corrugated iron. These I adjust in such manner that itsseveral pieces may be readily taken apart. I attain these objects by themechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Figure l is an elevation of one side of my fire-proof warehouse with oneend broken away to show gas-pipe standards for supports of girders androof, and gas-pipe ties or binders run horizontally along exterior lineof standards. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of a gas-pipe standard,showing bottom end of same screwed into base-block to hold the samefirm, the top end being inserted into base-block in similar manner. Fig.3 is an enlarged section of gas-pipe standard and horizontal gaspipe,showing method of fastening and supporting same. Fig. 4 is the same asFig. 3, with section of corrugated iron sheet applied externally tohorizontal gas-pipe, showing the method of fastening same. Fig. 5 is atop View of horizontal gas-pipes at corner of the warehouse, connectedtogether by elbow, and sectional View of corrugated sheet-iron andgas-pipe standard.

Similar letters refer to similar throughout the several views.

A represents the standards or posts of gaspipe, set certain distancesapart, both on the exterior and interior, according to the plan ofwarehouse. They are of requisite length and parts diameter for supportof roof, and I provide vide means for fastening corrugated iron sheets 0to inclose the warehouse, I apply a gas-pipe, B, laid horizontallyagainst said standards or posts A, and placed vertically a distance ofthree feet apart, more or less. These I hold in position by hook-eyes orbrackets a, screwed into standards A.

By reference to Fig. 1, I there show corrugated iron sheets inelevation, marked, respectively, 1 2 3 4, and the overlap of same onhorizontal gas-pipe. As the corrugated iron sheets are manufactured tocertain sizes, I arrange the points of attaching said horizontalgas-pipes B to standards A to conform to same, so that the sheetsoverlap each other in their lengths on one of said pipes. To said pipesI secure the overlap of two sheets of the corrugated iron by bolts (6placed every foot apart, and for four sheets at the corners of same bybolts (6.

What I claim is 1. The combination of posts A and horizontal gas-pipe B,supported by brackets a, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of horizontal gas pipes B and corrugated iron sheets0, fastened by bolts a at the overlap of two sheets and at the cornersby bolts a at the overlap of four sheets, as and for the purpose setforth.

In testimony of said invention I have hereunto set my hand.
